Wovenwar is excited to return to Europe in May for a club tour as direct support to Sylosis. Tickets and dates are listed now at this location. Comments the band:

"If we lads in Wovenwar had a pence for every great show memory experienced in the Europe, our trousers'd be loaded with one or two quid… each. Off our trolleys in enthused anticipation of our upcoming tour, we look forward to performing many more wonderful moments with you lot. Cheers!"

Today Is The Day hereby announces the band's return to widespread live performances this Spring, this week announcing a month-long U.S. tour to take place in April and May.

Following several months off the road recuperating consequent to a brutal highway accident in late November, which destroyed the band's van, merch, equipment, and seriously injured some of the members, Today Is The Day is now ready to take some aural savagery back to nearly thirty stages across America.

Additional stateside tour actions from Today Is The Day will be announced in the coming weeks, in addition to an upcoming European tour surrounding the band's set at this year's massive Temples Festival in Bristol.

“I've known Randy for many years. He’s a down to earth guy and a killer drummer! So when we thought about who could replace Vaaver on this North American tour, only a few drummers came to my mind and Randy was our first choice. Who else could do a stand-in job like this with a great attitude and amazing skills! It will be a great experience for us to play with such a powerhouse drummer and I’m sure Destruction fans will appreciate his performance as well!"

Vaaver states: “I am going to be a father for the second time in my life and it's going to happen in June of 2015. I therefore have to apologize to all our fans for not being able to participate in the 2015 spring North American tour. I am convinced that Randy, an amazing drummer, a truly experienced thrasher, and a good friend of ours, will smoothly take over my drum throne for that period and will set the stage on fire.”

Randy Black adds, "I take this as a very cool challenge and an honor to step in on drums for Vaaver to help the guys out and be a part of this great tour! I can assure the Destruction fans that I’m working my ass off getting the drum parts tight and brutal!"

Vaaver will be performing with the band on all shows through the Mexico tour that takes place immediately before the North American dates.

The dates are part of Allegaeon‘s continuing campaign in support of “Elements of the Infinite,” which claimed spots on year end lists, including Loudwire.com, MetalSucks.net, and HeavyBlogisHeavy.com.

“Elements of the Infinite” was recorded, mixed and mastered by Dave Otero at Flatline Audio in Colorado Feb-April 2014. Otero’s work has been more prominent in the last few years – some fans may have heard his work on the latest Cattle Decapitation album, Cephalic Carnage, and more. Otero’s efforts here, along with the band’s new material, has led to Allegaeon‘s most realized and mature release to date. Musically, fans will be treated to orchestrations that provide significant depth to the sound. The orchestrations were composed by guitarist Greg Burgess along with Joe Ferris (monumentalaudio.net).

Heart In Hand has issued the following announcement about calling it quits and cancelling upcoming tour dates:

"It is with great sadness that we have to write this post, but as of today, we as Heart In Hand will no longer be continuing to create and perform music. Trust is a hugely important part of any band and when it is tested it is difficult to come back from without causing further damage.

"As a result of this, we will be cancelling our upcoming European tour next month, a fact that we are monumentally sorry about. We cannot apologize enough to the fans, promoters and organizers and of course Hand Of Mercy, Liferuiner, and Create To Inspire for letting you down, but we wouldn't want to tour not to our full potential and see this off in an even more negative way.

"It is a difficult time to say the least for us to talk about the end of this adventure, we've watched this band grow for over 6 years and been to some amazing places, met incredible people and had some of our fondest memories playing with some amazing bands and countless festivals, all with the satisfaction that music we created and hard work got us there. We never cut corners or paid our way onto anything, which makes our achievements more precious to us personally.

"This would be the best opportunity to thank everyone who helped us along the way, every single person who showed support, whether it be a 'like' on Facebook and illegally downloading our music, or coming to 15 shows, getting tattoos or buying all our shirts. All the people behind the scenes guiding us right and creating a strong team as the band grew, including Nanouk at Avocado Booking, Jamie and everyone at Siege Of Amida Recordsand Century Media Records, and Dom Patience, as well as anyone we've had as drivers and crew/tour pals, you know who you are.

"We will be toying about with music outside of this band in due time, but for now, this is the end for Heart In Hand. We understand this is not the most suitable end but it's the way it has to be at this point. Love to you all."
